Jennifer Love HewittEven though she’s been on the receiving end of a heap of criticism/bitching over them, Jennifer Love Hewitt has said she’s not ashamed of her recent bikini photos because she knows she’s not fat.

The photos, taken last week in Hawaii, show the Ghost Whisperer’s bum looking more curvy than your average celebrity-in-a-bikini, causing a flood of comments about her weight.

Now writing on her blog, Jennifer said she felt forced to speak out about the comments because: “I’ve sat by in silence for a long time now about the way women’s bodies are constantly scrutinized. To set the record straight, I’m not upset for me, but for all of the girls out there that are struggling with their body image.”

“A size 2 is not fat! Nor will it ever be. And being a size 0 doesn’t make you beautiful. I know what I look like, and so do my friends and family. And like all women out there should, I love my body.”

“To all girls with butts, boobs, hips and a waist, put on a bikini - put it on and stay strong.”
